I hope your little guy does well! Please consider joining Dodgerslist on Yahoo groups. It helped me a lot when we went through this a year ago. They have a ton of information there! I know how heartbreaking this is. And of course, stick around YT too! If you have any questions, let me know. There is a link further up about my Layla, and I recently posted a video of her one year after surgery. She was also given a 50/50 chance, and did not recover use of her legs or bladder, but is still a happy little dog! It just took awhile for us to stop feeling sorry for her and ourselves and see how great our lives could still be together Lots of hugs to you and your pup!
